Enjoy Steaming with Cookpad's Amazing Recipes

Steaming has become increasingly popular in recent years, with a particular focus on the traditional bamboo steamer, known as 'seiro.' In response to this booming trend, Cookpad announced the release of their latest cookbook, "Cookpad's Amazing Steamed Recipes," set for publication on November 13, 2025, by Takarajimasha. This book features a comprehensive collection of steamed recipes that can easily be prepared using both steamers and frying pans.

Top 10 Trending Steamed Recipes

With the rising frequency of searches on Cookpad for terms such as 'seiro steamed' and 'frying pan steamed,' the cookbook reveals a curated list of recipes that have seen a significant increase in home cooks' attempts. Over the period from July 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, these recipes garnered notable attention, making them a must-try for anyone interested in incorporating more steamed dishes into their diet. This section serves as a guide to the most popular steaming recipes that everyone can cook at home.

Hearty Meat Steamed Recipes

One of the biggest advantages of steaming is that it locks in the meat's flavor, resulting in tender and juicy dishes. The book presents a variety of meat steaming recipes that are nutrient-rich when paired with vegetables. Depending on personal preferences, some recipes offer techniques to season meat before steaming, while others allow for the enjoyment of the ingredients' natural flavors with a choice of sauces. All in all, these recipes promise to deliver a substantial and balanced meal.

Nutritious Vegetable Steamed Recipes

Steaming is highly praised for its ability to cook multiple types of vegetables simultaneously, making it an optimal choice for healthy meal preparation. Adding colorful vegetables will transform your dining experience, making it visually appealing while enhancing nutritional value. Whether using a frying pan for quick steam-ups or utilizing a two-tier bamboo steamer for simultaneous cooking, vegetable steaming showcases simplicity and efficacy.

Delightful Steamed Desserts

For fans of sweets, the book bridges the gap between traditional baking and steaming—allowing for the easy creation of tempting desserts without the need for an oven. From fluffy steamed buns to creamy puddings and even fruity cakes, this cookbook provides numerous recipes ideal for afternoon snacks or casual gatherings. Whether you’re in the mood for something light and sweet or a rich treat, there's something for every palate in this section.

Special Features of the Cookbook

In addition to the recipes mentioned, the cookbook also includes unique dishes like 'okowa'—a type of steamed rice that when made with a bamboo steamer offers a different take than traditional rice cookers—and steamed side dishes perfect for bento boxes.
